Aww, cripes. I didn't know I'd have to write a description. How many words is that so far, like a hundred? Soooo, yeah. Mildly interesting stuff. Stuff that interests you. Mildly. It's in the name, ffs.

1. No memes

This includes references in titles of your post (e.g. "banana for scale," "potato quality").

2. No related posts

Posts that acknowledge, "one-up," or relate specifically to another post are not allowed (e.g. "I see your X and raise you Y")

3. No x-posts or reposts

Do not post something that has been submitted anywhere on reddit before (including here), even if you were the one who posted it.

Exception: If a post is deleted or removed from /r/mildlyinteresting for breaking the rules less than one hour after being submitted or receives less than 100 upvotes, we allow the submitter to resubmit a fixed version of the post. Posts deleted or removed from other subreddits are not exempt from rule 3.

4. Original [OC] photographs only

a. No gifs, videos, or websites.

b. All submissions must be original content. If you didn't take the photo, don't post it.

c. Software glitches/errors, overlaid text, arrows, scribbles, and other substantive edits are not allowed, although you may censor personal information per Reddit-wide rules.

d. Side by side images are okay if they adhere to the rest of the rules.

5. No screenshots

No screenshots. We define a screenshot as a screen grab. This means no images of screens, pictures of screens taken with a different device, images that have been partially or fully generated by a computer, or pictures of printed out screenshots. Try /r/screenshots!.

6. Titles must be an exact but concise description of the content

a. Titles must not contain jokes, backstory, or other fluff. That information belongs in a follow-up comment.

b. Titles must exactly describe the content. It should act as a "spoiler" for the image. If your title leaves people surprised at the content within, it breaks the rule!

Posts which break the rules will be removed on sight. This subreddit operates a three-strikes rule on submission bans, and instant bans on troll and/or gimmick accounts, shock links, etc. at moderator discretion.

My parents live on the Gulf coast in Florida. The one caveat to your statement is that with the salt air, if it's metal, it will rust. It's most obvious on the galvanized and painted screws used on the frames of the patio screens. It doesn't matter if you bought an outdoor fan and the blades don't sag, you'll need to replace it every 5-10 years because the motor has most likely rusted.

Yep, my parents had an uninsulated room with three walls of windows and a window AC unit that was rarely used. Eventually the fan blades swelled and drooped. Kind of cool -- it looked like a giant flower.

The same thing happened to one fan in my house, I turned it on by accident and as it spinned, it started to move side to side and suddenly the blades began to fly across the room and one of them hit my dog. Nothing happened to my dog and we had a good laugh afterwards.

when you take scraps and dust from the saw mill and mix it into a slurry with resin and pour out wood panels to cut to size for things. you make it look like shitty wood with a thin layer of veneer on the surface.

I'll be the one to take it on the chin and say it. You can enjoy someone's body of work and hate that person. Bill Cosby did a lot for the black community and Louis CK was absolutely hilarious but they are both horrible people. I will continue to listen to chocolate cake while hoping Bill Cosby spends the rest of his life in prison.

Cosby is a serial rapist who drugged his victims and did so for a lifetime.

CK pulled his dick out in front of people. It shoudln't tolerated but but it's like comparing a serial killer to someone who gets in fights. Or you know, a serial rapists to someone who sexually harrassed someone

A cheap fan intended for the indoors exposed to hot, humid outdoor air will do this. Hard to tell where this is (e.g. if it's a patio, or perhaps just a non-air conditioned room that gets hot, or what), but we sometimes see this exact thing in the South in the US.

The particle board that makes up the fan blades, esp. in cheap fans, cannot hold up to hot humid air (especially over several years). It does not have to get submerged or even directly rained on as you might expect. Seems ridiculous, I know.

Heat alone would not do this unless the blades were made of some cheap plastic but even then the walls and house would have probably burned down by then. With the obvious corrosion on the metal it is easy to determine it is from moisture, not heat.
